Climate change has been called "biggest global health threat of the 21st century" by medical experts, with impacts including heatstroke, increased allergies, and respiratory illnesses from air pollution and wildfires. There's also increased dangers of malnutrition from food scarcity, new infectious diseases resulting from habitat loss, higher incidences of disease from water pollution, mental health impacts of climate migration and eco-anxiety, and stresses placed on healthcare staff and infrastructure.
In Living Well in a Feverish World, emergency physician and award-winning researcher Courtney Howard describes the ecological, social and structural determinants of health, the health benefits of climate mitigation action, and outlines the rationale for a well-being orientated economy.
Providing all the information needed to help us understand how we can make each day better for ourselves, while helping to stabilize the ecological and social systems that underpin health.
